Moving home has never been more expensive.

So, we found a way to make the upfront cost of renting easier for applicants while giving landlords greater protection..

We’re often asked:

“How can I make renting more affordable for applicants without leaving myself exposed as a landlord?”

One answer is Reposit.

Instead of an applicant paying a traditional deposit of up to five weeks’ rent, they can choose to pay around one week’s rent upfront — leaving them with more money available for the costs of moving.

But the real benefit is providing our landlord with greater protection.

Reposit can provide cover of up to eight weeks’ rent, compared with a traditional deposit of five weeks.

So, rather than simply being an alternative way for applicants to pay their deposit, it can provide landlords with an additional level of protection.

For us, it’s about looking at the options available and finding solutions that work for both sides of the tenancy.

More flexibility for applicants. More protection for landlords.

Deposit or Reposit — the choice is yours.

We are absolutely honoured to have been selected by the judges as a finalist for the Small Business of the Year Award at the Exmouth Chamber of Commerce Exmouth Business Awards! 🎉 🎉

This year, we wanted to make a real effort to give back to our town and support the community that supports us.

So far, we’ve:

🎤 Headline sponsored Exmouth Chamber of Commerce events (although that's a story for another time, if you know, you know!)

📚 Sponsored a local school to have their library bus repainted, yes, you read that right… the school has a DOUBLE-DECKER BUS converted into a library! 🚌📖 Such an incredible idea to get children excited about reading and make learning fun.

🏉 Sponsored a local rugby player, helping them pursue their passion.

Of course, the exposure helps us too. But more importantly, it helps other people.

It helps keep children excited about reading and engaged with school. It helps local sports teams and players pursue their passions. And, perhaps most importantly, it helps make sure that local businesses have a bar to go to when watching the eclipse. 😜🍻

If you represent a business in Exmouth in any way, whether you’re an owner, director, team member or volunteer. come along and join the Exmouth Chamber of Commerce.

It’s just £65 for the year, with great events, wonderfully welcoming people, fantastic opportunities to meet other local businesses.

A huge thank you to the judges for selecting us as finalists. We’re incredibly proud to be included alongside so many brilliant local businesses.

Best of luck to all the finalists across every category — we can’t wait to get dressed up, celebrate with you all and hopefully enjoy a few drinks on 25th September at the awards night! 🥂

Two coastlines. One sea tractor. Zero complaints.

Did you know Devon is the only county in England with two coastlines? The North Coast which is popular for surfing destinations, and tall rocky cliff edges, and the South Cost which has calmer seas, long sandy beaches, which is where you find most of our resorts, spa's and sailing centres.

This weekend, our Managing Director, his son and a few friends headed down to Burgh Island, just off Bigbury-on-Sea (South Coast).

Burgh Island a beautiful little island with a rather glamorous history, not only is it the setting of a number of Agatha Christie novels but, depending on the tide, can either be reached by foot or by one of Devon’s more unusual forms of public transport: the sea tractor.

Naturally, the boys (both young and old) opted for the sea tractor. Because when the alternative is walking, why wouldn’t you choose a giant tractor that drives through the sea?

We’re very lucky to have our team living and working in this part of the world. Why not come and explore it yourself?

Some prefer the big city, we prefer the space. You can keep the Shard, we have a sea tractor. 🌊🚜

Property maintenance is almost always cheaper when it's caught early.

Tenants in our managed homes report repairs 24/7 online, and smart troubleshooting sorts the small stuff before it ever becomes a callout. The result is fewer contractor visits, faster repairs, and happier tenants.

For landlords anywhere in the UK, that means lower maintenance costs and a rental property that's genuinely looked after. Quietly, in the background, the way it should be.

Renting a home should feel like more than a transaction. A calm move-in, repairs sorted quickly, and someone who actually picks up the phone.

Looking for a home to rent in Exeter or East Devon, or thinking of letting yours? We're happy to help. Call 02045 688 261 or search Carr & Jones.

We're based in Devon. We manage across the UK.

Exeter, Exmouth and East Devon are home, and we know these streets inside out. But good property management travels. Systems, compliance and communication work just as well for a property two hundred miles away as one down the road, and we look after plenty of both.

Thinking of letting your property? Call 02045 688 261 or search Carr & Jones.

Lettings compliance does not sit still, and the Renters' Rights Act has given landlords even more to keep track of.

For every property we fully manage, wherever it is in the UK, staying compliant is our job, not yours. Gas safety, electrical (EICR), EPCs, smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, legionella and HMO licensing, with the paperwork behind all of it kept in order so nothing slips.

Thinking of letting your property? Call 02045 688 261 or search Carr & Jones.

You grow it. We'll run it.

It comes back to something simple: you grow the agency, we run the lettings operations behind it. Compliance kept, rent handled safely, clients yours, nothing hidden in the small print. When you're ready to lighten the load, we're here.
